Jacobite peerage

The Jacobite peerage includes those peerages created by James II and VII, and the subsequent Jacobite pretenders, after James's deposition from the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland following the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

The following tables list the peerages and baronetcies created by the Stuart claimants in exile.

The standard source relied on is The Jacobite Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Grants of Honour published in 1904 by Melville Henry Massue, who called himself 'Marquis de Ruvigny et Raineval'.

Peter Drummond-Murray of Mastrick noted in an article in Burke's Peerage that: [Ruvigny's] own pedigree was false, as was his claim to the French titles he used.

This lack of integrity, unhappily, destroys much of the authority of one who was a gifted, if eccentric, genealogist.
